AP:… No Fort Sumter Moment but WE ARE AT WAR!

WARNING: THIS IS POLITICAL !!!

AP: Stop waiting for a Fort Sumter Moment… WE ARE AT WAR!

Are you waiting for a cannon to fire on a modern-day Fort Sumter… or someone to assassinate The Archduke Ferdinand… or for Minutemen to take a stand on Concord Green? An equivalent moment / event to parallel those historical “war starters” may still occur; but, regardless…

WE ARE AT WAR right here In America… For America. If you don’t agree then you are either kidding yourself or simply not paying attention.

There are still those among us convinced what is going on in America these days is just the usual political yadda yadda blah blah.

… more concerned with who won / lost a big game or their favorite reality TV show.

… convinced that all politicians are crooked and it really doesn’t matter who is in power because it’s all a bunch of crap.

That “all politicians are…” assessment may be too close to true. Not all “are” but enough are squishy self-serving experts in situational ethics to not care about “us” except for our vote. And “it” IS “a bunch of crap”. Alas, that “bunch of crap” determines a great deal about my and your daily life and the Future of America to merit your attention.

Many of our current elected officials who are “not worth a thimble-full of warm spit” were elected to replace previous elected officials who, alas, were also judged to be “not worth a thimble-full of warm spit”.

How / where do we find elected officials who ARE indeed “worth a thimble-full of warm spit”? And, is that the highest standard we can hope for? … I don’t have that answer.

For those who naively believe This is all about Donald Trump and his assorted eccentricities?

… IF ONLY Trump would resign and retire in exile to Mar-A-Lago as his “Elba”… a less combative Mike Pence POTUS will calm the Liberal Mob/Media … ??

… America will revert back to “harmless political nerf combat” of 20-30 years ago. Everything will “be OK”…

Are you among that truly NAÏVE?

When Liberal leadership celebrates by burning The Constitution on the steps of The Capitol… it will simply be to roast marshmallows? Right?

Muslim / Islamo-fascists are not really bloodthirsty butchers… simply very enthusiastic about their religion… i.e. “Baptists in burkas… and suicide vests”. Yeah right… you keep believing that Bunky.

For anyone that naïve nothing I say will change minds. … comfortable in a naïve fantasy.

Are you one of those Kumbaya singers wringing your hands and clucking your tongue about “the loss of civility in our society”? We are so far beyond that silly pissing contest. It officially died on Nov 9, 2016 but it had been on life support for quite a while before then.

Who the hell am I? Just some galoot with a website. For those who see themselves as paragons of common sense and reason this is all going to be OK because it always sorta kinda has been… despite a zillion instances in recorded history when “…it always has been so” was not the outcome. Uh Oh…

Why is History’s Dumpster filled with the carcasses of dozens of once-great civilizations?

Go back to following the basketball recruiting of a favorite college team… the latest Hollywood “red carpet” divorce… WHATEVER IT TAKES to ignore the grim reality that..

The war has already begun, many years ago. It has not been waged in a conventional manner and will continue to be waged not with bullets but with controls on information. Unfortunately we are going to be on the losing side as freedom and liberty will be the primary casualties as we slip into a totalitarian Progressive society that will make the Soviets and Nazis look like choir boys. Likely the only way to counteract the offensive is to find a permanent way to accomplish what JP has laid out above.

Reply Function continues to confound our Techies. It is a WordPress format glitch… NOT a sabotage of this site..I agree with you and with JP. “They” control mass media both conventional and new-age and they have no conscious in how they manipulate that. Yes… this is not a Trump or an Obama Factor although both administrations have contributed in their fashion. What we are dealing with a cancer within society… pretty much how most civilizations have imploded …

Just imagine how bad it would be if we were not at basically full employment, the housing market was not high, and most of our 401k’s were not at highs. All of these things can be broken very, very quickly, and if they are, a huge contingent of hold-your-nose DJT support goes cold and stale. There are still many psychological tools they can use to try to destroy us..Many of us are too busy leading lives to get brought down into the social media sniping or the forever hate the Left feeds. Take my job and my ability to feed and support my family, and I may seek out JP to make sure this ends as quickly as possible.

“They” began poisoning the public / higher education well 30+ years ago. Doubt we have time to un-poison it now. “They” told us they were going to “do it” and they did. … Like Nero, we fiddled while that element of society was corrupted.

It wouldn’t take a hacker at all. I can tell you how to destroy the rail lines, telecom, food distribution and water supply using things you can buy in any hardware store. The interstate connection is more problematic, but the fuel pipelines aren’t and that keeps the trucking in of food to a minimum. No part of this operation requires more than two guys and no more than five minutes per task. The reason I choose ten guys is speed and a building wave effect. I could do it by myself if I was very careful about planning, but one accident could doom the whole operation. Once the food starts to run out, panic sets in, then water will also need to be brought in, and fire fighting will be impossible. Pick a warm night with a steady breeze like Tokyo in March of 1945, and the situation gets beyond control in a hurry. Then human nature takes over..So here we are. Again, I will appeal to the angels of your better nature and tell you that you do not want this to happen. I hear more voices clamoring for war, but not experienced voices. Everyone in the summer of 1914 thought that if they made one more show of force the war would be averted. The Japanese thought a rapid expansion and a crushing first blow would lead America to a negotiated peace. Germany was sure that the Fall Of France in the spring of 1940 would led Britain to peace. Both sides thought the US Civil War would be brief. What I hear is the sowing of the wind. Over what? Social media tempests in virtual teacups? That people who are known to be career liars in bought political offices are promising things they know they can’t deliver? I haven’t watched TV in over a decade, and have no social media, and yet I can quite clearly see what is going on here. You’re being stampeded by people who don’t do anything in a forum that doesn’t exist. A computer is an excellent tool, as is a cell phone, but that’s all it is. Don’t buy into the hustle that this is anything more than another piece of technology that is running on hype. Just because someone can post some thoughtless drivel on an electric box does not give them power..One last thought. You do not want to be involved in a war where people like me feel compelled to join in. Not on either side. My objective will be to establish a lasting peace where I don’t have to do it again in my lifetime. You will not like how I get us there.

The 4th Die Hard movie with Timothy Olyphant as the cyber genius capable of inflicting total chaos on society… also the story line for Twilight Zone’s The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street. How fragile our society is to even a brief interruption in the norm..I’m afraid my efforts can’t do much more than alert a few 1,000 otherwise apathetic souls to the reality this ain’t their father’s political posturing.

This war, like all wars, will be won by whoever figures out transportation and logistics first. Removing most of the technology from the equation has become much simpler over the years. Ten men with a list of targets could isolate and starve out a city in a week.

I’m not that smart. There will likely be some of that in some areas but I see it being more via technology… control of information systems, social media, the Internet, cell phones, databases, et al. That might seem to favor The Left with their Far Left Tech Nerds in Silicon Valley but maybe not. I honestly don’t know..

Those people would likely prefer an exile at Saint Helena. Napoleon returned from Elba, just before the Hundred Days.

With all of this, I am bemused by all the tooth sucking about how politics have ‘become nasty’. At an age beginning with a “5”, I have noticed the the Left have played nasty politics my entire life. Now that we are standing up to the Left, they bemoan the “lack of civility”.
